Creating Your First Garden by Paul Thompson
Paul Thompson brings inspiration and confidence to the task of making a new garden, banishing the fear and uncertainty many amateur gardeners feel. Creating Your First Garden presents a visual directory of gardens and garden elements in a range of styles to help you choose what's right for you. Then, gently taking you through the design process, Paul Thompson imparts that most difficult skill of all - visualizing how your chosen design will actually look. He shows how, by taking photographs and making easy-to-do sketches, even beginners can look at their own gardens and then 'see' and plan exactly the new garden they want. He goes on to explain, in a simple and accessible way, the practicalities of creating and maintaining the garden, and provides an illustrated directory of easy-to-grow plants. With an emphasis on trusting your instincts and developing your own style, Creating Your First Garden gives the confidence and ability to create a special and stylish space.
